B. CORRUPTION

Government officials, who are a minority, have power, authority, and
discretion over matters affecting all of the public. Generally, the public
have little to no power. Government's most important minority
consitutency are the wealthy, be people with power serve their own
interests, usually to the disadvantage of all of society. Under our system,
the rights of a majority not having power are being subverted by a
minority having power for the wrong reasons. Exploitation by the few of
the many leads to unjust enrichment. Unjust enrichment connected to
one's official status in Government can be considered public corruption.

C. PEOPLE'S BUDGET

Under social compact theory of Government, we should all be in this
together. One way to make a new efforting to end exploitation that takes
the form of discrimination based on race is to end unjust enrichment by
the few of the many.
